“Serving the Union is its own reward.”

Introduction​

The Civil Protection, also known as the Combine Civil Authority (CCA), are the human enforcers of the Combine.
Their duty: to maintain order, suppress rebellion, and enforce loyalty among citizens.
Joining this faction grants access to unique commands, equipment, and authority — but also responsibility.

This guide explains everything you need to know to play as a CP unit in impulse: HL2RP:
• How to join the faction
• What abilities and tools you have
• How to use elevators and Combine systems
• And a full list of radio codes recognized in-game

Joining the Civil Protection​

To become CP, you must first gain experience (XP) as a citizen. Once you meet the requirement you can apply to join through the character menu.

From ranks RCT and i5 you need training ! You must ask for a training: any rank from i4 is able to give you a training.

Before acceptance, you’ll face a quiz testing your understanding of Combine protocol:
• Correct patrol conduct
• Knowledge of divisions
• Weapon use and engagement rules
• Appropriate punishment justification

If you fail, you’ll need to retake it later. Study the rules and codes first.

Note: CP slots are limited. If full, you must wait for an open position.

• OTA ranks: OWS → EOS → LDR → EOW
• CP Command = DvL / DCO / CMD (command-level access).

Stay calm, follow Dispatch, and maintain control at all times.

Patrols:
Keep presence in populated areas (Plaza, stations, checkpoints).
Engage citizens respectfully but firmly — perform random inspections, check IDs, and monitor behavior.

Escalation:
If a citizen resists, detain them (148).
If they flee, chase and call “10-78”.
If armed, announce a “94” and await backup.

Outlands Operations:
CP are city enforcers. The Outlands belong to OTA.
Do not operate outside Combine jurisdiction unless ordered.

• Keep radio chatter concise and professional.
• Log detainee charges and release them after their sentence.
• Respect chain of command – follow DvL, DcO, CmD orders.
